In the 14th century, black death ravaged through all of Europe with the notable exception of Poland. What long term effects did this have for them?

Did not having suffered a reduction to their population effect power dynamics in the region?

Did Poland forego the 'positives' of black death such as an increase in wages due to labour shortages?

Was their any significant migration of Poles to neighbouring regions?

The assumption that Poland has not suffered during the outbreaks of bubonic plague in 14th century is based on a popular but substandard research in the 1960s (there are few Polish sources of the event but absence of evidence is not an evidence of absence) that has been rectified quite thoroughly since then.
